Plantagenet Shiraz 2007

From the coolish Great Southern region in Western Australia, Plantagenet has crafted this pleasant if unspectacular shiraz. A bright ruby in colour. A medium intensity aroma of spice, herbs, plums, graphite and anise. And pepper. A palate with medium-high acidity, medium length and a plummy flavour. Its positive is that it is a perfectly pleasant shiraz. Its negatives are that it is around $45 for a wine that has a resemblence to a typical commercial South Australian shiraz. 83 points
